[this Act would take effect July 1, 2012, and be applicable to all taxable years beginning after December 31, 2011]
This bill expands the existing military retirement income subtraction modification by increasing from $5,000 to $10,000 the maximum amount of retirement income that can be excluded from the State income tax.
The following discussion was prepared by the "Legislative Research Service" of the General Assembly in regard to a similar bill that Sen. Harris sponsored last year.
